Marvel "was" a boys brand and the last 2 phases have also been marketed towards girls and women. How'd that turn out for them?

This is the difference between the reality of what is, and the fantasy of what you think it should be. This ain't about feelings, only the bottom line which is what Hollywood used to care about. After recent events (Covid, billion dollar movie losses, multi-billion dollar streaming losses) it's all they will go back to caring about.

I must have missed where Barbie was a Marvel movie. Oh, that's right. It's not.

Must have been a Disney movie. Oh, that's right. It's not.

You also must not know a lot about comic books since superheroines have been around since forever. Or did you never hear about Wonder Woman?

You must also have missed that Black Widow was part of the MCU from Phase One, along with characters like Peggy Carter and Pepper Potts. And Phase Two gave us The Wasp. The Scarlet Witch, and Gamora among others. So the presence of these strong female characters have been around for the entirety of the MCU.

The average MCU fan has felt that Black Widow should have had her own movie as far back as Phase 2. The fact that Marvel chose to do the movie after killing her character off is a bit of an insult.

And maybe you can explain how Shang Chi, Doctor Strange 2, Spider-Man NWH, Quantumania, and Guardians 3 were marketed as "Girls Movies".

Shuri only became Black Panther because Chadwick Boseman died. Thor Love and Thunder adopts Jane becoming Thor, something that was done in the comics years ago.

TLDR: I reject your theory.

Again, did you actually watch these things or did you just choose to listen to a jackass like The Critical Drinker?
